Additional Details

Baron Stow (1801-1869) was the longtime pastor of Rowe Street Baptist Church in Boston, best known as compiler of the popular hymnal "The Psalmist." This portrait is cited by at least two reputable critics as among the best portraits printed by the prolific and distinguished J.H. Bufford. Weitenkampf in American Graphic Art writes that "Baron Stow is one of his best in execution" (page 188) and Peters in "America on Stone" also mentions this portrait as a Bufford highlight (page 120). None traced in OCLC, at auction, or elsewhere.
